Having read the manifesto, which seems pretty clear-headed, and details real allegations of very serious corruption and racism within LAPD, am I wrong to want this guy to achieve some of his objectives?

this is just some big black guy who thinks the world is out to get him. He got pissed his whinging and biatching didn't get taken seriously and is using it as an excuse to murder innocent people.

He thinks the world owes him something for being black. He's not some honorable saint, he's a murdering piece of shiat, and I truly hope when they do catch him, they shoot on site and wait till he's dead to call the paramedics.

All this supposedly stems from a complaint he lodged about a suspect being kicked/abused... she he got all bent out of shape over that, but sees nothing wrong with putting bullets into people's brains?

The sad thing is I've known more than one black person that has this "I'm black, I'm oppressed, I never succeeded because of the color of my skin, everything I do is okay" way of thinking.

If he took that much time to write all that, I'm just gonna say he's guilty.

So you really don't believe that there is any chance that the LAPD would be racist and unfair in any way? The guy's a nutjob and obviously he's airing his grievances in the worst possible way (would it be THAT hard to find a journalist who wants to break these big allegations, assuming they're true?!), but I have to admit that his rant isn't that far fetched. Frankly, some parts of it aren't even all that surprising.

zvoidx:I guess the suspect posted it...but what proof is there he wrote it, it's just text.His Facebook page?

Am I claiming something afoul?No, I'm just asking what proof there is that this guy wrote it.

Obama planned it all. Had someone shoot the couple and the other officers. Framed him. He's actually dead. They just want people to be afraid for a little while longer. Then he grabs away grannies guns.

Yep, that's the sad thing about all this. That there are more uppity black people.

Considering he likely murdered innocent people during this rampage... Sorry, but yes. Yes, it's wrong.

And can we PLEASE stop giving these people the attention they want? It only encourages other psychos to lash out similarly.

OnlyM3:Another violent leftist. His hero was Piers Morgan and other CNN liberals. No wonder.

4/10. Would have only been 2/10, but you used the word leftist in conjunction with CNN, so you get a bonus point for that. You get another bonus point for conflating being someone's hero with agreeing with something that person once said.

Next time, try using more words like 'marxist' and 'fascist' completely out of context. I do think your work has promise, but this just feels a bit phoned in. I'm not quite feeling the frothing-at-the-mouth ignorance fueled rage. Looking forward to your future contributions though.

Honestly, it's really freaking long and is all over the map. There's a big bit up front about his specific reasons for why he's angry at the LAPD and the officers that (he says) turned on him, but then it rambles all over the place. Politics, friendships, shiat that happened to him in middle school, missing the third installment of the Hangover...

I feel badly that his live was screwed up like this, and I don't know how much of it is other people's fault and how much of it is his fault. I do know that a gun rampage and threats to kill other people and their families has a way of undermining everything he said about his moral compass.

Tebow, I really wanted to see you take charge of an offense again and the game. You are not a good QB by todays standards, but you are a great football player who knows how to lead a team and WIN. You will be "Tebowing" when you reach your next team. I have faith in you. Get out of that circus they call the Jets and away from the reality TV star, Rex Ryan, and Mark Rapist Sanchez.

I almost wonder if he thinks he is LL Cool J playing himself in the movie about him. Stated in another way, he watched waaay too many movies. If any of the corruption he stated is true, this is not how to handle it.

To be honest? I don't really care if it's true. Sure, some reporter should look into it to make sure. I'm hoping that comes after this guy gets blown away or he eats a bullet himself.

This guy obviously has a victim complex and no idea what true justice is.

I'm sure he genuinely believes he's in the right, but when you become a cop, you swear to protect and uphold the Constitution. Killing anyone who offends you is pretty much a violation of everything you claim to have dedicated yourself to.

"(LAPD Chief) Beck attributed a pair of shootings by police officers in Torrance, south of Los Angeles, to mistaken identity. In one of the instances, officers fired on two women who were in a blue pickup delivering newspapers, the Los Angeles Times reported."

Sadly, the last of the blood hasn't been shed here.

Not to many Farkers.There's a reason they greenlit 3 articles about it already.Drew & his fellows have been anti-cop for years now.

That's probably how all of this will end. But, if he's right and the LAPD is that corrupt, then some light needs to be shed on that fact. The problem is that by being a murderer and a scumbag, he's going to damage his posthumous credibility significantly. My point is, this guy had a bone to pick, and it's hardly a stretch of the imagination to think that his allegations might be legit. And that's why it does matter whether his manifesto is rooted in truth----this shiat needs to be investigated.

But his behavior is going to make the problem, assuming it exists, much harder to solve. No politician is going to want to talk about investigating the LAPD now that the public's sympathy is on their side.
